Harvard Sure Can Pick ’em: Congratulations to Dr. Alan Garber

One of the nation’s most important jobs in higher education will be ably filled by Dr. Alan Garber, who is leaving Stanford to become Provost of Harvard. Alan is a world-class physician, economist and health policy guru rolled into one and as much as it pains me to lose him as a colleague, there is no disputing Harvard’s wisdom in stealing him away from us. He will be an outstanding leader for Harvard and for higher education as a whole. Congratulations and good luck to Alan.
